The 064 I got last year (thread) was a heck of a saw when I got it put back together, but it was just overkill for my purposes; I rarely need or care to process the sort of rounds that thing was made for. Now I have an MS460, and even that is more than enough for me.
Yes, yes it is.........second best wood processing tool I ever purchased.That thing is a beast, like a boat motor with a chain and bar on it!
Did you get a deal on the Dolmer?
Yeah that seems pretty good especially if it has more power than a 372XP and XPG with heated handle. I've never run or even been around a Dolmer before.I don't know if it was a real deal. I gave him $450 for it, list is $900.
Even though Dolmars in this class are pro line and very good saws, they don't have the resale value of Husky XP's or Stihl. It is way stronger than my 372XPG. According to the charts, it should be slightly stronger than a 460 Stihl.

Never owned a Dolmar, but for $450 I would buy a saw that is comparable to a Stihl 460 and looked that new. Sounds like a great deal.
You got enough saws there that you could learn how to juggle them like I've seen on some dumb show before! LolNot a waste for me, I got all my saws used, in fact I never had a a new saw.
The first one was the Remington, came with the house.
Picked up the Husky 36 and 350 for $40 and $50, both non runners, a few bucks and some work and they now run great.
Got the Homelite, Poulan and the electric McCulloch from a guy for $20, only needed some minor work to get running.

Why would you (a homeowner) want to own a pro grade saw?
It seemed the ones that were listed on CL in the $300-$400 range were old home made basket cases and the newer ones were priced at what I got my new Forest King 22 ton splitter for at Menards...
OT: With the exception of yesterday as far as yard sales. We were driving to the local seed supplier and there sat a Apple Mac tower, the big silver aluminum one, on a table at a yard sale, well that had to be checked out. It was a G5 Dual Processor, a later model G5, but we couldn't turn it down for $40. Clean as whistle and had a power cord, KB and Mouse. Hooked up a flat panel monitor up to it and away she went, sounds like a wind tunnel though with it's big dual fans.
joful,
Don't they call it CAD? I can't remember it's meaning but my guess is compulsive arborist disorder?
